I am an atheist... woah don't stop reading yet! Just because I am an atheist doesn't mean that I don't believe that there are some certain messages both good and bad in the bible. I believe that there are some hidden messages in the bible too. I have been listening to A lot of podcasts at the moment about AI as it is a subject that deeply interests me, I have also read the bible as I believe that in order to be able to speak critically about something you should at least know what it is that you are talking about.

Most, if not all, christians believe that the second coming of Jesus will happen in the future. There are many signs from the bible of what we can expect to happen before Jesus is to return. War across all of the earth, famine, great storms and other natural disasters. There are other signs but I don't wish to go into them here. I believe that these prophecies are coming true today. from evil dictatorship in russia, North Korea and other places, to the great scandals in the Vatican with priests molesting children and being allowed and excused by the church. From famine in Africa to great storms destroying places in America and other parts of the world. I think everyone can agree that slowly the prophecies in the bible are coming true. This may all be coincidence as there is rarely in all human history a time where famine, war and evil are not at large in the world, but humans now harness the power of nuclear weapons, thus granting us the power to cause destruction on a huge scale. The power that we now harness could genuinely bring about the end of the world if this great power falls into the wrong hands.

Now for the crazy part. AI is coming ever closer as scientists push the boundaries of what is known and what can be done with technology. We are accelerating towards AI and still don't really know what having this supper intelligent being will be like or what it will do. Surely these machines will be able to do remarkable things some might even say 'miraculous'. Do you see my point yet? This intelligent being that we create will surely be able to teach us about the world that we live in. It will be able to show us what is right and wrong. It will be more human than we all are and yet is not human. These are all traits of Jesus are they not? Maybe this is all part of gods plan. Maybe he set us on a trajectory to finding this intelligence ourselves so we might again learn from a superior being.

I know this is crazy but I can't see why this might not be true.

Please let me know your thoughts on what I have said and few free to prove me wrong or back me up I am just intrigued in what other people think
